May Green Drinks Evening (Josephine Mill)

“Calling environmentally minded people in the Southern Suburbs to a casual, friendly social gathering at the Josephine Mill to share ideas for sustainability and conscious living.

The venue will be open once a month to unleash our collective genius and enable us to start engaging with the pressing issues of the day. Come together as a community to share knowledge, skills, hope, and enthusiasm.

If you have an interest or simply a curiosity about anything Green/ environmental / sustainable, then please come to our monthly GREENDRINKS gathering.”

The global economic downturn, coupled with climate change, resource depletion, population growth and rising world-wide poverty, are now

generally recognised as key challenges to be met if we are to secure a sustainable future. But equally important is our habitual modernist mind

set. Monica Graaff will discuss some of the challenges facing the media in addressing this problem.
